Align audio to video
I had a project where the audio did not record. I took a cassette tape of the event, imported into a new movie then as a clip into iMovie. I extracted the audio and aligned it with start of the video clip. The audio starts to run ahead noticeably and by the end of the clip, is about four seconds ahead. Is there a way to compress the audio so that it lines up with video from start to finish?
Well . . . "built in audio" is the option you need to select. And unless you have another audio device plugged in (and by that I mean a USB or Firewire audio interface) it will be the only one you will get. You will never be able to select your mini disc player directly from Audacity's input selection. It doesn't work like that.
By selecting "built in audio" in Audacity, you are selecting either the built-in mic on your Powerbook, or the line-in socket, depending on which option you have selected in System Preferences. If you have it set up like I suggested in my earlier post, it should work. If you have got it to work once, and not changed any settings, it should work again. Make sure you check the following:
1: System preferences, Sound, Input - should be set to "Line-in"
2: Your mini disc's output is plugged into the Powerbook's line-in. Volume is set at about 80%.
3: You should get a signal in Audacity if you have followed these steps.
Any problems should be solved by the help pages on Audacity's website: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/
If Audacity just isn't working for you, you might try Sound Studio (Which may have come free on your Mac) or can be downloaded from http://www.felttip.com/products/soundstudio/ for 1 15-day free trial.
You could even have a bash at doing it with GarageBand, if you have it.

Aligning audio tracks to video
In Final cut i import my video and audio from my camera. I then export the audio to Garage Band and edit it (i don't change the length of the audio, i just try to make it sound better by adding reverb and EQ) then i export that audio to itunes and then import it back to Final Cut.
I am having problems lining up the two audio tracks in Final Cut. Im working with music video's so the audio and video must be in sync. In garage band there is a feature called "snap to grid" that allows me to slide my track to a desired increment of time. I can choose to "snap to grid" or not. By not "snapping to grid" i am able to line up tracks exactly where i want them. Is there a feature like that in Final Cut. In Final Cut, I need to be able to slide the newly imported track to exactly line up with the original audio.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!Hello Nate
In FCP the "n" key is used to toggle on/off the snapping function.
Question: Why the convoluted workflow? How come you don't just roundtrip your audio out of FCP directly to Soundtrack Pro (instead of GarageBand) and back again?

Sync Music audio with Video Audio PE10
Hi.
I am new to Premiere elements 10 (Changed from Corel to Adobe, so i'm not new to video editing, but I'm not used to PE10).
I am filming a lot of my daughters Circus performances, so very often I find the music number used at the performance and merge that with the video audio in the project.
But I have a problem syncing the music from the audio track on the video with the seperate music track.
So to specify: I want both Audio tracks running at the same time, so that I keep the clapping and the whisteling from the audience, but get the better quality of the music from the external file merged with the music in the video-audio-clip.
Is there a special tool or can someone help me with a special tecnique?
Regards SettemandAlong with the instructions offered above, when nudging the Audio, I would make sure that Snap is OFF, as Snap will try to align your Audio with the beginning (Head), or end (Tail), of you Video Clips. That is useful for many editing operations, but for nudging Audio will frustrate you. The Snap function is a toggle with the S key. Just do not forget to turn it back ON, when done.
Also, though the Soundtrack Audio Track seems to be the ideal location for your extra music, some users have experienced issues, when using it, or the Narration Audio Track. While it seems that those issues are Project-specific, and those Tracks often work well, to keep from being tripped up later, I recommend putting your music on a free Audio Track, such as Audio 2 - just to be safe.
Also, with either an Audio, or Video Track, you can Zoom IN/OUT horizontally with the Timeline Zoom slider, AND can also Zoom IN/OUT vertically, by going to the Track's Header (where the Track Name is located), then hovering your cursor over the little line between the Track, until it changes to an equal sign with up/down arrows, then click+drag, to enlarge the Track (and the Clip display) vertically. I find that this makes viewing the Audio Waveform Display easier, and the peaks are more obvious. When done, you can just reverse that operation to Zoom OUT on the Track vertically, so that it looks like it did, before you started.
Good luck, and this FAQ Entry might be useful, though it talks about OOS (Out Of Sync) Audio, the functions are the same for syncing additional Audio: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436751?tstart=0

Grouping Audio and Video tracks?
iMovie HD:
When I insert new clips or edit existing ones, my imported audio tracks lose sync with the clips that come after the place of edit. I am continuously manually re-aligning the audio which is very time consuming.
Is there a way to group or link Audio and video so the that imported audio will stay in sync with my clips?
I understand that it may not be possible for the clip I am working on, but what about the clips after the clip I'm editing?
ChristoFound the answer: "Lock audio clip at playhead"

Audio and Video are Out of Sync
Hello,
This seems to be a reoccurring problem for me and I'd love some help getting it resolved once and for all. After capturing footage, the audio and video are out of sync in the clip AND when I drag it to the timeline. When I go through each part, it looks like the video hesitates often, which seems to be causing the misalignment of audio. But, once it is moved into alignment, it goes out of sync again throughout the remainder of the one hour video.
I'm capturing through a Canon Optura 50 Mini DV and editing with FCP 6.0.1. I have checked that the audio mode is set to 16 bit on the camera, and the capture settings have the audio rate for 48 KHz.
This same problem occurred when I was capturing another event last week.
PLEASE advise. It won't get aligned even if I take the hours and hours to move the audio left and right frame by frame.I am still wondering why you're recommending that I use an external drive for this project.
Because the internal has more than enough to do running Mac OS X and the applications. It is constantly writing files. While DV video is at the lower end of the scale, it is still asking a lot of the drive's read and write head.
I always used external drives, but we had many problems with delays and processing problems.
At the very least, you should be using FireWire external drives. USB is no good for video as it delivers data in packets, not the sustained stream that video needs. The drives must also be formatted as Mac OS Extended. Windows FAT 16 of FAT 32 formatted drives have file size limits of 2 and 4 GB respectively. Anything larger is segemented and can cause problems on a Mac. -
How do I use my web cam to record audio and video? I can get the video to work but no sound.
I want to record both audio and video at the same time. The video works fine but not the audio. I do use Skype without any problems using both.
PwmBoat,
This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile... I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
You did not say what webcam software you are using...
======================================================================
Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
YouCam > Right-Side Settings >
Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
AND
CHECK "Capture with audio"
OK
You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too. (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
==========================================================================
I hope this helps!

I was wondering this, because I want to hook up my 2011 MacBook Pro to a external monitor (TV) using an hdmi cable. This would be heplful before I buy a mini displayport to hdmi adapter, and then maybe find out that the mini displayport might not transfer audio, only video.
Yes, min Displayport supports audio and video for the 2011 MBP 13" via HDMI.

Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems
I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

How to get audio and video in one file
hi...I am "premiere beginner user" and I have a simple question , I think..:)...Every time when I am trying to export media out from my premiere (using media encoder) I get video file and some audio files, but what I need is only ONE file, that contains both (audio and video)..for example , I have edited film in hd quality and I want it to export, I choose h.264 format(make some settings,pal,audio quality...) and when it´s "all done", only "result" I get is one video file and two audio files and they are not together :).....so please help mme anyone..ok and as you can see I am not from english speaking country, so sorry for my english...thanks for help....
There is no indication that something is out-of-sync or the ability to move/slip into sync like in FCE/FCP.
To the best of my knowledge, using match frame and overwriting the video with video+audio (or attaching it as a connected clip if you don't want to overwrite the video, which might have effects applied) is the best way to do this.
You can use the blade tool first in the timeline to get just the section you want to get back into sync. Make cuts so that you have a single clip that needs the audio resynced, select it, and use shift-F to select the original synced clip in the Event Browser. Make sure your play head is at the beginning of this video clip in the timeline. Press option-2, then 'q', and now you have the audio back in your timeline, synced with the video. Delete the old, no-longer-synced audio and you should be set. -

how can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)
It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

OT: What viewers do you need to use ALL audio and video files?
I had a lot of trouble with audio and video files on my PC. I
now have a
MacBook Pro, which is a big improvement. But I still
frequently
encounter files that I can't use. I try to open them, but
Apple doesn't
know what to do with them. For example, I often encounter
unusable
videos while perusing news websites. I also have some audio
files with
.mva or .mvw extensions that don't work.
So what viwers/players do I need to download in order to be
able to play
every audio/video file that comes my way? iTunes handles .mp3
files, and
I also have QuickTime installed. I just viewed another video
after I
installed a Flash plugin. What else do I need to install?
Thanks.

HOW DO I FIND THE DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 8 AUDIO AND VIDEO TO UNINSTALL?
I NEED TO INSTALL AND UNINSTALL WINDOWS 8 DRIVERS FOR AUDIO AND VIDEO SO THAT I MAY REINSTALL THEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO TO FIND THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
ALSO, IF I PURCHASE THE PROGRAM FOR UPDATING DRIVERS, WILL THAT PROGRAM ALSO INSTALL THE NEW AUDIO/VIDEO DRIVERS AND UNINSTALL THE FORMER ONES SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH SO MANY STEPS BY MYSELF. I FIND THE DIRECTIONS TO DO THIS FOR MYSELF VERY COMPLICATED.Hi, I would like to assist you on this matter, however I would need some information from you first. I see that you are running windows 8. What is the make and model number of the computer that you are using? The windows 8 that you are using, is it a 32 bit or a 64 bit operating system? Please write back and I will be happy to do research on this issue.
Thank you
